  1. I agree with your cause of replacing the twin towers, no other statement would strike home to whoever carried out these attacks. I have visited New York and love the spirit and determination you guys have, here’s to a peaceful future for all of us. Good luck with your efforts, David from England

  2. Well they sure were some great damn buildings and should be rebuilt. I can’t possible understand how they allowed the Freedom towers to be built instead of the Twin Towers, weren’t the Twin Towers the icon of New York? Back in ’01-’02 they told me they would replace the Twin Towers, but there still is nothing out there, with the simple design of the Twin Towers, we could’ve rebuilded them back in 2004 but nooo…

    Good luck boys, hopefully I’ll get to stand upon them once…

  3. To me there is really no logical reason that can be made for not re-building the twin towers.

    Quite simply, the people who should have the final say should be the families of the victims.

    In fact you could say that the decision should have been theirs from the beginning, and from what I’ve heard they support re-building the towers rather than the freedom tower.

    I’m quite certain Mr. Obama would agree that the families deserve the final say.

    I will pray that your cause is successful.

    TTA Note: The only thing we will add to Clint’s comment is that the family that counts the most is the American Family — we all have a big stake in this outcome.

  4. I’m a Brazilian teenager who prays everyday to they rebuild the Twin Towers, first of all, it’s not too late, we can see the current progress at Ground Zero. It was been 8 or 7 years now since New York wasn’t New York anymore: Terrorists take the towers in New York Skyline, but they never will take the towers from our hearts, and now IS TIME to make these words WORTH.

  5. Nothing less than rebuilding the Twin Towers exactly as they were is acceptable to any world citizen who values freedom and democracy. When the Campanile of St Mark’s Square in Venice collapsed in 1902, the city authorities and the citizens of that other great republic were of one voice when they considered a replacement:

    “DOV’ ERA E COM’ ERA” – “HOW IT WAS, AND WHERE IT WAS”.

  6. Please rebuild Twin Towers II, with the Freedom Tower the skyline is not a skyline of NYC. Signature from Spain.

  7. I live in New Zealand and love America, I would love to go to NYC and hopefully one day when I go I will be able to see the twin towers standing tall.

    America was targeted for a reason because it is the best country in the world and other countries are jealous of its power but no other country will stop America’s light from shining.

    If the twin towers were rebuilt then America can win the fight and will be in control of the world trade center again and we can finally move on from 9/11.

  8. I want to see the twin towers back in new york. I live in england, and ive always wanted to go to new york, but new york just isnt the same as it was when the towers where there. I dont think people want to see the freedom tower or whatever it is called. People want to see the twin towers.

  9. im a british student from manchester, i think every person in this petition is in it for the same reason, they want to make a stand and show how america and american citizens will not be beaten or changed by the act of terrorist scum. re-building the twin towers is the perfect and best way to do this.

  10. I am a British student, who was at junior school, when the Twin Towers were targeted, and one of my ambitions would be to come to america and see where the World Trade Centre, and Twin Towers were. I think that the WTC and the Twin Towers should be rebuilt. I always like looking at pictures of how the Twin Towers used to look like, but it breaks my heart to think of what happened that day! R.I.P all of the people who lost their lives on the day of 9/11. XXXXXXXX

  11. Make the New Yorkers proud of New York! Make the World proud of Manhattan again!
    Twin Towers II would represent the acievement of men and the strength of all of us…
    Make New York – New York again!

  12. I am a British citizen but a resident of the United States. It still amazes me that those in charge of redeveloping this site ever considered doing anything other than rebuilding the twin towers as they were. Surely that is the only appropriate response available in order to send the message that the terrorists’ impact has not weakened the United States, and that everything is now ‘business as usual’?

  13. I remeber how terrible 9/11 was, and I would like to remeber how monumentous it will be when the Twin Towers rise over Manhatten again.

  14. As a Canadian citizen, I have never gotten to see the world trade center towers in person as I have always wanted to do. After Sept 11 01 I now no longer have that option to go visit NYC to see them. It would bring me and others sooo much joy to see them be rebuilt to their original shape and heights as they were before.

  15. I lived in NH when 9/11 happened. I was devastated. I now live in Australia and the newsagency I get the paper from has an old front page article from their newspaper showing the tragedy.

    I miss the towers. I miss the significance that it had. I knew just what city I was looking at when I saw the skyline. Without the towers, I can’t tell anymore.

    I may be an Australian resident now but I’m STILL an American Citizen!

  16. The new tower looks like rubbish I would 1000% perfer the classic twin towers. I’ve always wanted to visit the twin towers, if they build the tower I wouldn’t come to New York I would go to LA or something.

  17. the twin towers should be rebuilt exactly like the originals because anything else would be like saying the victims never existed. it would be the biggest message that the world can send out saying you will never beat us. it would be the best memorial you could ever build for the brave people who lost their lives. i’m sure each one of those brave people would want them rebuilt too. god bless the brave and please rebuild the towers.

  19. Hi, I am from Australia and had the pleasure to visit the world trade center back in 1996. I have to say that only 1 structure – one wtc (Freedom Tower) is a gutless response!!! This is not the America that we know back here in Australia. Really the only logical way to go is to re-construct the twin towers larger, stronger and better than ever. This would certainly display a sense of absolute power and triumph over disaster and this is the old America we know back here down under !!!

  21. i have always admired them and wanted to stand on top of these two icons that represent(ed) and mean(t) so much to people all around the world, people that want to seek their fortune actively rather than just being directed by other forces. the twins have been (still they are ) a strong symbol as well as an inspiration, make them rise again and hit many strikes at once with them being back right were they belong. they’ve been absent for long enough now, rebuild taller and stronger twins! 🙂

  22. Don’t peg away at fighting for rebuilding the Twins.
    I loved them and I’m looking forward to them again!

  23. Having the same New York before and after 9/11 will be the best answer. We have to show them that they do not have influence on our cities. We should not give them a building coming from their act ! Twin Towers forever !!

  24. rebuild the twin towers taller,stronger and safer not the freedom tower the twin towers were an iconic symbol in america lets show terrorists that they cannot take that away!!!

  25. The proposed design of the Freedom tower to me is a sign of weakness. New York looked strong with the iconic Twin Towers , and should stand strong once again. The US is a powerful and admired nation. You need to show that if “‘You knock us down , we will spring back up stronger and better than ever before'”.

  26. I always admired the Twin Towers (WTC), after the Liberty Statue it held a high place as an Icon, and was the Financial Life line of the world no doubt.
    Now that being lost, only Physically , the same has to be rebuilt Taller and stronger with all the researched technology.

  27. Hi, I´m from Guatemala. I want to see the Twin Towers Again. Please rebuilt them, there are a world icon. The Heart of New York. Thanks.

  28. “I feel this way about it. World trade means world peace and consequently the World Trade Center buildings in New York … had a bigger purpose than just to provide room for tenants. The World Trade Center is a living symbol of man’s dedication to world peace … beyond the compelling need to make this a monument to world peace, the World Trade Center should, because of its importance, become a representation of man’s belief in humanity, his need for individual dignity, his beliefs in the cooperation of men, and through cooperation, his ability to find greatness.” — Minoru Yamasaki

  29. If the White House had been destroyed, would you build some condos in it’s place? Please replace this American symbol. The towers should be re-built.

  30. I was born in 1994 and I first remember seeing the Twin Towers in a movie in 1997 when I was 3. I remember thinking wow such tall big towers. Thats how I knew New York. Ever since then I wanted to live in New York City. The Twin Towers is how alot of people know NYC. If there were no Twin Towers, I never would’ve known about NYC until probably the age of 10. The old WTC was soo beautiful. I like the design, reminds me of the 90’s. The Freedom tower is just ugly. I want the old ones back.

  31. I allways dreamed of going over to america one day… to go up the twin towers.
    Now I realize my dreams are not completely abolished.

    If the freedom tower is ever created, I will never have anything to do with them.

    America, stick up for yourself.
    Do you honestly think, that surrendering to those terrorists is the best option.

    They took thousands of lives, that were not theirs to take,
    Don’t let them take America’s spirit.
    Rebuild!!! Show the terrorists how weak they really are.

  32. I have been in love with The World Trade Center since I first saw the architectural models in the early seventies. It inspired my lifelong interest in architecture. I witnessed live the destruction and horror on 9-11 on my television. It was something I did not ever wish to see. I would like to see the towers built back again onto The New York City Skyline with all my heart. But, how is that to be when your country has somehow elected this man Obama as your president?!? His supporters say NO!!!?

    TTA Note: Support for new Twin Towers is strongly bipartisan — left, right, and center.

  33. The Twin Towers were an icon to New York, and a symbol of freedom to this country. They Must be brought back, but built with heavier materials, and more structurally sound, so 9/11 will never happen again. They Should move them offset and have the reflecting pool, in the place were the original towers were to show they will always be there in our hearts. The Freedom Tower is a nice idea, but doesn’t fit New York

  34. The new tower stands out only because of the ground where it will be built, and for no other reason.

    I can’t think of anything more powerful or defiant than to see the towers rebuilt.
